Chapter Text
Leo sputtered as he landed on the cold floor of where ever it was that he was. A red light making everything tinged the same color. The only other color was the glowing cyan liquid Leo was surrounded by. He made a face as he also had it dripping off him.
“Ok ew what is this stuff.” He shook his hand a bit to get it off. He blinked noticing two others in the room. One looked like him only younger, like maybe 5, with a younger turtle, probably about 3, clinging to him one that looked like Donnie. “Uhh Hi?” He couldn't even make a Jersey joke right, at least one of them defiantly wasn't from Jersey. They also looked terrified.
“Y-you need to get outta here and quick. The guards are gonna come any minute.” The little slider spoke up after a moment. Guards? Where in the shell was he? Admittedly the last thing he remembers is picking up Pizza from Run of the Mill. A tug on his arm brought him to the present right. Apparently he was in an unknown place with guards about to come and two scared kids who looked suspiciously like him and his twin.
“Right, ok yeah.” Leo breathed standing up only now realizing he's missing his Katanas. “where are my swords?!” He was feeling very exposed here having no weapon on him, it's not like he was really trained in hand to hand!
“Probably in the weapons hold.” Leo would question that statement later as he scooped up the kids. They stiffened a bit before forcefully relaxing themselves. Oh that raised alarm bells in his head.
“what way are we going?” Leo asked as a hissing started and the two kids, he should really get their names, tensed. The younger of the two pointed to a door, one that looked like something out of Jupiter Jim, way opposite of where the hissing was coming from and Leo booked it. Only a little surprised when the doors easily came open. The two kids must have used it. “I have so many questions I cant ask right now.”
“the weapon storage is that way” the little slider pointed down the hall “It's in the third hall way connected to this one down but um I don't know how were gonna get past everyone.” Leo grinned then.
“well its a very good thing I am a trained Ninja then huh?” This was gonna be hard Leo wouldn't lie to himself. He just had to stick to the shadows. There was plenty with the light blaring around, or it would if the hallways weren't mostly featureless. Leo couldn't even see any vents! Still he was following the kids directions and very startled by the lack of guards in this hallway. It did give him one opportunity though. “so What are your names?”
“I'm Quattrocento and he's Cinquecento” Leo's brain nearly stopped because those were numbers! Numbers! He couldn't stop to think about it too long since he had to keep moving with the two again telling him where to go.
he nearly rounded the corner to the place the weapons room was. In front of one of the doors was something Leo had never seen before. It had a vaguely wolf like face, a nearly skeletal looking body with a long whip like tail that had three spikes on the end of it. Large sickle like claws at the ends of its fingers and raptor like legs colored like blood with pitch black eyes.
“That's the weapons room he's in front of.” Quattrocento whispered. The pure terror on both kids faces made Leo's stomach drop. “ they're expecting us here. How would we get past him.” The kid was panicking.
“hey don't worry I got this.” Leo looked at the two with a smile putting up a bravado he wasn't sure he felt. Still he had a belt pouch with lots of little things in it. He put down the kids for a small moment grabbing the thing that would make the most noise when hitting the other side of the hall and threw it with all of the force he could. A satisfying thunk cause the guard to turn his head. This gave Leo the chance to run and kick the guard upside the head. The guard's head meet the wall with a slam and he slumped.
Qua and Qinque, Cinque were easier to use than the kids full...names, Leo was going to get them a name book because who names kids numbers, at least with His Dad it was actually an ok thing to be named after colors. Anyways the two kids came and opened the door for him. He picked them back up as he entered. He was quickly relived to see his katanas surrounded by the many high tech weapons. Of which he was going to grab one for Donnie to disect because why not? He moved to Hold both kids in one arm while picking up one of his Katanas. He put that one in the sheath and then picked up the other ready to slash open a portal home when the door opend.
“Oh come on” Leo groaned but held the kids close and his katana out as a larger one of the aliens came in, this one with white eyes and black tiger like stripes along it's body. It spoke in a language that Leo did not understand at all, but the kids tensed and that was all he needed to realize something was wrong. He got into a battle stance. He couldn't actually afford to fight with the kids in his arms, but he had an idea.
The Alien, because it sure as hell didn't look like any mutant or Yokai he'd seen, leapt at him realizing he wasn't going to give him what ever he wanted. Leo ducked under him getting nicked by one of the claws as the alien crashed into the wall. Leo sliced open a portal and after kicking one of the weapons that fell through jumped through the portal holding Qua and Cinque close.
When Leo landed he blinked. This was the garage of the new lair and it looked like...Donnie was in the middle of building a spaceship? Raph Mikey Stared for a moment and Donnie had frozen in the middle of what he was Doing. April had just came in the door way.
“LEO!” And suddenly Leo was in a very large hug. Everyone was trying to talk over each other. Leo took in a breath.
“GUYS! I cant understand you when you talk at the same time...and you're squishing the kids.” That cause several confused looks and them to let go.
“I have several questions now.” Donnie spoke up. Looking at the kids and rising one of his drawn on brows.
“You're not the only one. The only thing I know is these two are Quattrocento and Cinquecento and we were on an alien ship till like less than a minute ago...and that the last thing I remember before that was leaving Run of the Mill with our Pizza order.”
“About that it may have been three months since that happened.” Raph put his fingers together when explaining that.
“What...”
“Um we can explain somethings...” Qua murmured. Leo blinked and noticed how uncomfortable Qua and Cinque seemed so he sat down and placed them on his lap. The Garage may not have been the best place for this all to happen but he guessed this was happening here. “So Um the people who took Leo were from a race of Aliens who'd heard, some how, about you defeating the Krang. They figured that if you could do that you could do a lot of other things, so they set out to make a clone army of the 4 of you, how ever they only got Leo and Donnie's DNA and made Me and Cinquecento” The kid was fidgeting a lot at the shocked looks he got. Donnie's brain was trying to compute this information. “They also may have accelerated out growth to be um well I'm 5 and Cinquecento is 3 but that only because that's when our brain accepted the psychic imprinting they were doing...”
“And they named you after numbers” Leo stated trying not to think about the accelerated aging thing, because did it mean theses kids had a shorter life span?“ using an earth language might I add how? why?” The two shrugged.
“All I know from there is they weren't happy with Cinquecento's physical growth so they were gonna terminate him.” Leo inhaled as the quite softshell whimpered. Leo pulled Cirque closer to himself.
“Ok but why did they kidnap Leo and put him on the same ship?” Mikey asked confused as all heck and worried. He was going to go Dr. feelings maybe...and if he saw these Alien's Dr. Delicate Touch. “how'd he not get out till now?”
“They were planning on making multiple clones not just one each it would be easier to have the DNA source near by.” Donnie monotoned looking at his wrist computer. “Leo would likely be the first target for capture because of his ability to portal being a threat to not having what they want and they might have had a way to keep him unconscious until presumably the kids interfered.”
“They did help me escape.” Leo hummed. “Now I think we need a bath and a nap.”
